CAESAR SALAD WITH CREAMY ROASTED GARLIC DRESSING AND PARMESAN CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. To make Parmesan crisp: place 3-inch ring mold on baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded parmesan into mold. Repeat 3 more times so there are 4 separate parmesan disks. Lay out crisps on a foil covered pan. Place under broiler for 3 to 4 minutes watching carefully until Parmesan turns golden brown. Remove from broiler and let cool.
• In a blender combine Caesar dressing, roasted garlic cloves and mayonnaise. Blend on medium speed until creamy.
• In a large bowl, add romaine, 1/4 cup Parmesan and croutons. Toss with salad dressing.
• Carefully peel Parmesan crisps from foil.
• Serve on chilled plates with Parmesan crisps upright in salad.

LEAFY SALAD WITH CRISP APPLE SLICES AND PARMESAN CHEESE CURLS

Steps:

• Have previously washed your lettuces and spun dry, or put in a large, clean pillow case and swung over your head for a few seconds (this really works! The centrifugal force gets the water off the leaves and the pillow case absorbs it- don't let anyone see you doing this- they'll think you're insane).
• Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
• Combine the lettuces in a large bowl and toss well.
• Add the apples and nuts and drizzle with the dressing.
• Toss again.
• Using a vegetable peeler or sharp paring knife, shave curls off if a wedge of parmesan over the top (be generous!).
• Serve at once as the lettuce will start to wilt with time.

PARMESAN CRISP SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil a sheet pan and place 1 tablespoon of shredded Parmesan in piles on the pan.

• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and olive oil. Add dressing to the chopped Brussels sprouts and toss until coated. Transfer to serving bowl and top with orange wedges, hazelnuts, and red grapes. Garnish with Parmesan crisps.
